What parts should I have extras?
So I'm on the verge of resurrecting my FD, and I will have a lot of extra parts that I won't be using. Once my car is back up and running I'm not going to keep all the extra parts I have laying around as most will be doubles of whats installed on the car, but from your guys' experience are there certain parts that I should keep around? You know just incase?
Thanks

+1 to keeping them all. But if if need to start, maybe some rotor housings and rotors? Damn things went up in price a lot. I luckily bought my new housings on a technicality(their website listed the combination with rebuild kit wrong but he honored the price and I bought them for $500 less than normal).

Yeah, I was lucky. I myself am going to start hording parts. I'm already starting to some degree. I always have my rebuilds done with new rotor housings.
I was at Mazdatrix's site and 99 spec turbos are listed as maybe discontinued. Might want to look into those too if you're into using stock turbos.
My current engine had almost everything replaced under the hood so these guys are right about keeping everything you can. I bought my car from a guy that did a rebuild himself and it ended up doing more damage than normal. I had irons, e-shaft, bearings, rotors, harness, radiator, etc. replaced. I thought my full rebuild kit with ceramic seals, gasket set and new rotor housings would be enough but they weren't. Don't forget emissions parts too .

let's make this easy..you only need one extra part.
it is called a CAR!..lol.
I found that some prices on parts were a little high,so I just bought an extra car to combat the "rising cost of inflation"..
